Patented July 1, 1930 UNITED STATES Application filed. April 19,

v This invention relates to hanger devices especially adapted for hanging screen and storm sash.

An object of the present invention is the provision of a sash hanger which includes a frame carried member and a sash carried member detachably engaged with the frame carried member, the manner of engagement providing for the removal of the sash only when the sash is moved upward and outward. I T

Another object of the invention is the provision of -means included in the hanger which will prevent accidental removal of the sash when the bottom is swung pivotally' outward, so that the sash may be swung open without danger of disconnection.

"With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the follow- 0 ing novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawing: 7 Figure 1 is an elevation of a window frame with a screen or sashframe connected thereto by means of'the present invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view'on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the frame member and sash member in separated relation.

Figure 4 is' an elevation of the frame member.

Figure 5 is a similar view of the sash member.

Referring-to the drawing in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates the frame member which is adapted to be carried by a window or other like frame 11. This frame member comprises spaced parallel .walls 12 from the inner edges of which extend oppositely disposed apertured cars 13, whereby the frame member may be attached to the frame through the medium of screws or like fastening devices. The outer edges of the walls 12 are connected adjacent their upper ends by means of a bar 14, so that an open- 929;{ at n-"a med ing 15 is providedat the outer end'of the fran1e-member.*"--

The sash member is indicated at' 1'6'an'd' comprises aplate having a fiat'attafching portion 17 which is provided witli openings 18, whereby the sash member may be secured to the sash 19 by means of screws or like fastening devices.

The sash member further includes an extension 20 which is offset from the attach which is provided with an opening 22 so that this extension provides a frame which includes a bar 23 at its outer end. Extending inwardly from thebar 23 is a tongue 24 which is inclined or otherwise offset.

The side walls 12 of the frame member 10 are provided with upwardly and outwardly extending slots 25 which open at the upper edges of these walls and these slots are adapted to receive the bar 23 so as to provide a pivotal connection between the frame member and sash member. By shaping the slots in the manner stated it is necessary to force the attached end of the sash upwardly and outwardly to permit of removal of the sash- The tongue 24 is positioned between the walls 12 and the free end of the sash may be swung outward without danger of ac-- cidentally unhooking the sash. swung outward, the tongue 24 will be received within the notch 15 v and upward swinging movement will be limited through engagement of the-tongue with the bar 14.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to makesuch changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim.
